- Gotelli discusses how environmental stochasticity influences extinction, arguing that a scaling relationship between the mean and variance of population growth rate (r) determine extinction risk. What is the scaling relationship? О а. Environmental stochasticity doesn't influence extinction risk b. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is double the mean С. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean squared d. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean е. Extinction will occur if the variance in r goes to 0arrow_forwardWhy D is wrong?arrow_forwardPlease do by hand d, e, and f pleasearrow_forward
- You are studying a population of mulberry plants. The average mulberry produces 55 leaves, but an insect herbivore preferentially kills plants with more leaves, and therefore the remaining population has an average of 35 leaves after the insects kill certain plants due to the herbivory. The heritability of leaf number is 0.75. What is the response to the selection imposed by the insect herbivores? a. -10 leaves b. -20 leaves c. -15 leaves d. -5 leavesarrow_forwardA particular specie of animal has a carrying capacity of K and a growth rate of r.

You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%arrow_forward
